Reviews / Votes
"...an impressive tour-de-force textbook of imaging systems that deserves a place on the bookshelves of many radiologists and students." (Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine, July 2005) "...a worthwhile addition to the armamentarium of any serious researcher in image science and will be an opt-quoted reference for many years to come." (Journal of Electrical Imaging, April-June 2005)In an article whether educational programs for imaging physicists should emphasize science of imaging rather than the technology of imaging, "The new textbook...does appear to be outstanding. It contains over 1500 pages of text, with probably about as many equations..." (Medical Physics, October 2004)
"Foundation of Image Science is comprehensive and the mathematics is rigorous and ubiquitous." (E-Streams, Vol. 7, No. 5)
"Containing a clear, detailed and general mathematical description of image formation, representation, and quality assessment, this book will be of great interest to researches and graduate students...highly recommended." (Medical Physics)
